The devs behind The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Prototype are back as a sort-of new, just as radical studio

Though not a peculiarly hotheaded one

The clip is upon us! The clip to erstwhile again go radical, arsenic from the ashes of developers Radical Entertainment and Hothead Games a benignant of but not truly caller workplace has been born: New Radical Games. It does look similar Hothead drew the abbreviated straw present sanction wise. But fixed that Radical were known for the likes of The Simpsons: Hit & Run and the Prototype games, and Hothead made, uh, The Baconing, the prime feels apt.

This, arsenic spotted by VGC, was revealed not truthful overmuch with a bang, but much of a snazzy, seemingly caller website that is adorned with imagery of the aged Radical's games similar the aforementioned beloved Simpsons game, alongside references to Prototype and a mates of Crash Bandicoot games they made too.

Heading up this somewhat caller task arsenic CEO is Ian Wilkinson, 1 of the archetypal Radical's co-founders, and besides the erstwhile president of Hothead Games earlier they unopen down successful December 2024. Over connected Wilkinson's LinkedIn, it says he's been CEO and president of New Radical Games since the aforesaid clip period, but with the website seemingly being rather new, it's unclear however agelong they've really been astir for (a blog station connected the tract is dated from April 11, 2025, so, it's astatine slightest that old). Joining him astir the apical arsenic COO is Tim Bennison, antecedently Capcom Vancouver's workplace director, but since 2020 besides worked astatine Hothead, besides arsenic COO.

In presumption of what they'll really beryllium making, well, New Radical Games' website says they tin bash things similar enactment for prosecute afloat crippled development, co-dev, porting, and remastering. This surely doesn't dependable similar they've got thing archetypal successful the pipeline, and I genuinely wouldn't spot immoderate bets connected thing Simpsons: Hit & Run close present fixed however analyzable it sounds similar it would beryllium to wrangle adjacent a remake. At slightest this mightiness explicate that unusual Prototype update from past year?
